Story of Seasons

Nintendo
Released

Release Date: February 27, 2014

Singleplayer

An unofficial sequel to the popular farm game series Harvest Moon, created by Japanese studio Marvelous, who also developed several HM titles. Like its predecessor, Story of Seasons allows us to play as an amateur farmer, who moves to a small, shabby town of Oak Tree. The gameplay is not much different from that of Harvest Moon—you buy seeds, plant and water them, gather crops, and take care of your animals.

Story of Seasons for 3DS is another instalment in the well-received Harvest Moon series. The game had to be released under a new title, since Natsume holds rights to the name Harvest Moon. It is available only for Nintendo 3DS and was developed by Marvelous, the creators of several Harvest Moon productions, as well as Valhalla Knights and Fortune Street. In Story of Seasons, you play as an amateur farmer once again. The story takes place is a small, shabby town of Oak Tree, where the protagonist moves to in hopes of making a career. First, you have to create your character – the real adventure starts afterwards.

Mechanics

The mechanics of the gameplay are explained by NPC farmers living in Oak tree. Fans of the original series should feel at home, since the players still have to buy seeds, plant and water them, gather crops, and take care of your animals. The biggest novelty, however, is the system allowing the player to trade with other towns. You can sell goods to other players with the use of Wi-Fi. Not only you can get extra money from that, but it also improves Oak Tree's economy.

GameCrate: 7.3 / 10 by David Sanchez

I played a lot of Animal Crossing last year, in the process rekindling my love for life sims. Playing Story of Seasons was a much different experience because it's more fast-paced and goal-oriented. It's not too unlike past Harvest Moon games, but it's a worthwhile entry nonetheless. There's a lovely little game to uncover here, though it'll likely take you a couple dozen hours to really get things going. That said, the time investment is certainly worth it, because at the end of the day, you're left with a fine farming sim that's totally rewarding.

GameSpot: 7 / 10 by Josiah Renaudin

Despite its nagging restrictions, Story of Seasons is an absorbing farming game with a wonderful sense of progression.

Harvest Moon titles have always been a little offbeat, but unfortunately the last few entries in the series have strayed from the series' original focus – farming – complicating the franchise's...
